Hi!
Does anybody now how to convert a font file to a C-file containing
structs?

What I want is the XFontStruct, the XCharStruct and the CharData
arrays.

Thanks for your help!

Dag,

I don't think there's a way to do that with standard X functions. There
are various font conversion programs out there.

Also, I wrote an image library that will allow you read in X BDF fonts
and use them to write to an image. (It's best used for non-GUI programs
such as CGIs.) Anyway, feel free to downlaod the code and examine the
BDF parsing code:
